I'm back after a long break to torture you readers yet again with my awful fics. The exams were coming but now they're over so I'm free to write again. This chapter, as well as the next, is well overdue. But now here it is.

Mochita-chan mentioned that the teams were all in the same class even though some are from different years. I did think of that but I couldnt find another excuse for them all to be together, so bear with me. Thanks for the tip though. And I'm totally clueless as to the characters' favourite subjects, so I just made them as in-character as possible. But even so, thanks a lot for the extra info, Mochita-chan!

Science with Seigaku

"...So for today, sensei has told me to tell you that we will be covering the human reproductive system."

"WHAT?"

Grin. Scribble scribble. "Just joking. I wanted to see your reactions."

Inui wasn't so sure the team was going to love him forever for this. But if they killed him now, who was going to train them and make them special homemade veggie juice? He was convinced he was too precious to be killed.

Maybe not.

Sensei walked into the room just in time to save Inui's head from being ripped off his shoulders by a very disturbed neko. Who was convinced that his innocence had been scarred for life.

"Today we will be covering atoms and their properties." Shock and horror. On second thought, the human reproductive system didn't sound so bad after all. At least it was...interesting...in a way. But nothing could save them now.

"If you will open your textbooks to page 53467, you will find a picture of an atom, and it is even in full colour. Write down on a piece of paper what you observe about the atom."

Ryoma:

It looks like a grey tennis ball.

There are many small grey tennis balls surrounding it.

Eiji:

It looks like the model of the solar system my sister once built.

Fuji (the traditional good student. Grrr):

The atom is surrounded by electrons, which are negatively-charged.

The nucleus of the atom contains both protons and neutrons.

It didn't take a genius to figure out who'd done their reading and who hadn't. But the results had been expected anyway. Sensei knew the team all too well. Which was why he didn't pay any attention to Inui's... not paying any attention.

Inui, meanwhile, was making very interesting observations about the teacher. And before dear readers start getting any funny ideas, he had concluded that Sensei had been a toad in his past life. There were only so many people, no matter what age, who didn't even know how to open a powerpoint presentation. He wasn't even sure if Sensei knew what a computer was. Well, Eiji's 96 year old grandmother knew how to keep a blog, and Oishi's 4 year old sister knew how to surf the net for Blue's Clues. Maybe sensei was that ancient after all. Either that or he'd lived under a rock all his life and come out only in the past month to teach. Which was definitely not the case. He'd probably been teaching at this school ever since it was built.

Momo was getting bored. And in the Peach boy's brain, getting bored equated to disturbing Ryoma. But since Ryoma was too far away, that in turn equated to bullying Kaido. Who unfortunately happened to be sitting right in front of his arch enemy. He was about to find out that it wasn't such a good idea. Momo flipped wad after wad of scrunched up paper onto poor Kaido's desk, and when opened, each was found to have crudely drawn pictures of snakes choking on tennis balls.

Kaido found sweet revenge in drawing pictures of peaches wearing sunglasses and grass skirts. Though he wasn't too sure why he did that, it definitely got the reaction he wanted. He could just hear Momo fizzing up behind him. But that satisfaction didn't last long.

Both Momo and Kaido were both mildly surprised to see an extra wad of paper flop onto their desks from a different direction. Dread flooded them, and they paled dramatically as they recognised the all too familiar handwriting. It was no longer necessary to open it to know what was inside, but they did so anyway.

100 laps after the next training session.

That was enough to stop any unruly activity between the two now disgruntled second-years.

Meanwhile...

Eiji had been feeling dead ever since sensei walked into the classroom. When Eiji felt dead it wasn't a good thing for the rest of the team. When a cat is bored it finds something to do, which is exactly what Eiji did. Sensei didn't deserve attention, and besides, if he ever needed any of this rubbish in his lifetime, which he very much doubted, he could always ask Fuji. Now...Ochibi needed a break from that cap. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

In a split second he'd stolen Ryoma's beloved baseball cap and put it on. His bouncy hair didn't quite fit in but it didn't matter. Fuji, glancing over from his textbook, had to laugh. Who could resist laughing at a redhaired cat wearing a white cap that looked like the national flag? Maybe Tezuka could, but he didn't count because he was the school's most well-known block of stone.

Said captain was getting annoyed with his team. And who could blame him, stuck with a bunch of teenagers acting like preschool kids? No matter. His team of tennis players would be very fit in a couple of days' time. Sensei was giving him no limit of opportunities to give the team extra laps. Oh well. They only had themselves to blame.

"I want you all now to take out your student diaries and note this down. Your test will be in 2 weeks, and in this 2 weeks you will be covering not only the structural properties, but also chemical bonding and balancing. Please also note that this test will be 40 of your entire year's Science mark..." Group chorus: Oh crap.

But that was okay... right? There was still 2 weeks. And besides, with their amazing level of concentration and hard work, they'd be sure to score on this paper. With a little help from Fuji and Inui in the direction of collecting notes. At least now they knew where all their savings were going.

A/N: I think writer's block is contagious. Very. And poor me seems to have been stricken with the worst case ever. Anyway, I was going to write on Biology but I figured it'd be rather awkward writing about the reproductive system, and I couldn't remember anything about DNA, so I wrote about Chemistry instead, because I just finished that in school. I'll be writing Fudomine next, and I think that one will be at least a bit better...
